Shirley Scott with Stanley Turrentine • Soul Shoutin'

Review by Scott Yanow
Organist Shirley Scott and her then-husband, tenor great Stanley Turrentine always made potent music together. This CD, which combines together the former Prestige LPs The Soul Is Willing and Soul Shoutin', finds "Mr. T." at his early peak, playing some intense yet always soulful solos on such pieces as Sy Oliver's "Yes Indeed," "Secret Love," and his memorable originals "The Soul Is Willing" and "Deep Down Soul." Scott, who found her own niche within the dominant Jimmy Smith style, swings hard throughout the set and (together with drummer Grassella Oliphant and either Major Holley or Earl May on bass) the lead voices play with such consistent enthusiasm that one would think these were club performances. Highly recommended.

Includes Shirley Scott's THE SOUL IS WILLING, originally released on Prestige (7267), and Shirley Scott and Stanley Turrentine's SOUL SHOUTIN', originally released on Prestige (7312). Recorded in Engewood Cliffs, New Jersey, on January 10, 1963 and recorded in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, on October 15, 1963.
